The figure, not drawn to scale, consists of 1 Rectangle N and 1 Square P whose areas are in the ratio of 4 : 1. Given that
215 of Rectangle N is shaded, what fraction of Square P is shaded?
Area of Rectangle N |
Area of Square P |
4x15 = 60 u |
1x15 = 15 u |
Unshaded area |

Area of Rectangle N is the repeated identity.
Shaded area of Rectangle N is the same as the shaded area of Square P.
LCM of 4 and 15 = 60
Fraction of Square P that is shaded
=
